Don't Jump to Conclusions

Kirk Radomski rebuts allegations that there is a glaring inconsistency in his story:

Sunday, The New York Times reported that Radomski may have damaged his value as a witness with a sentence on page 196 that the newspaper said contradicts McNamee's sworn testimony to congressional investigators last year. But for Radomski, the controversy is manufactured, and he suggests that the Times reread the page.

On page 196, Radomski and his co-author David Fisher wrote: "In fact he (McNamee) told me that in 1998 he'd begun injecting Roger Clemens with Winstrol that Clemens had gotten for himself."

As The Times reports, McNamee told congressional investigators in February that he never informed Radomski that he had injected Clemens with steroids or human growth hormone. Radomski says that's right. McNamee told him about the 1998 injections in 2008 - as he and Fisher were preparing the book, which the Daily News obtained Sunday from the publisher, Hudson Street Press.

"He only recently told me about the Winstrol," Radomski said.

I would think writers for the Times could better parse that sentence.
